Re: Extending C: partition

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I do have a 12GB partition. I'm looking VERY carefully. Looking within
Program Files, I see items such as Outlook Express, NetMeeting, Windows Media
Player. I do not see them in the Add/Remove Windows Components dialog box
though....how can I remove these? Is it safe to remove these?

Can I look at anything else in the WINDOWS folder? I use utilities such as
CCleaner on clients to delete bloat, but would be afraid of using something
like this on the SBS server. Is there a similar utility supported or from
Microsoft?

I agree with Lanwench that you first need to look more closely at what is on
the system drive that could be deleted or moved to another partition/drive.
It is possible to live with about a 12 GB partition by being careful.

Does anyone know if the Disk Director Suite 10 works on SBS? Is there
anything else I can look at to create more space? Thanks.

DiskDirector will indeed work. But how big is your system partition?
What's installed on it? You might be able to uninstall / reinstall apps on
another partition. TrendMicro stuff has gotten humungous of late, so I've
been able to save a lot of C drive space on my older servers by moving it
to another volume.
